    Default Gaesatae

    Are they available as AOR/merc. In EDU it state "merc barb naked fanatics" but I couldnt find them in EDB as AOR or in descr mercenaries.

    I have version 5.8.1 and according to the EDB they shouldnt be able to recruit them.

    At one point I believe they were AOR unit's for all factions, but that feature was removed some time ago. There are loads of obsolete units floating around the EDU though.

    Carthage should get them, but I don't think they do anymore... Carthage really needs an extended AOR for more places.... Greek AOR, Gallic AOR, and Italic AOR come to mind. After Iberia and Italy are conquered, the campaign is a nightmare with supply lines...

    OK. Thank for responses. I think italic aor is pretty good. Heavy and lighter spear available. Hoplites, Hastati and Velites. Carthages spain aor is also good. For Gaul I think carthage aor should include basic swordsmen and skirmishers.

    What about Gaesatae? Hannibal used them as his bodyguards, IIRC, so Carthage had access to them. And they should get Celtic Heavy Cav (definitely used by Carthage) as well as the Heavy Spearmen too.

    Carthage can recruit heavy cavalry in Gaul.(as everyone else). I admit I am not to knowledgeble about carthages armies. I dont think them serving as bodyguard warrant an aor Gesatae for carthage though. Perhaps they can be expensive mercenaries in some regions in gaul. With Alex-expansion they can be restricted to barbarians and carthage.
    I agree on heavy spearmen.
